Posted by SusySedano | May 25, 2011 | Comments

Hello and welcome to MyPlate 101!

I’ll use this series to deliver the best tips and tricks for using our tools most effectively.

Having used MyPlate since it was the Daily Plate; I have an arsenal of info to share.

Today, I’m going to walk you through using our Quick Tools.

Using Quick Tools

Quick Tools is located directly on your MyPlate.

Once you click on QT, a box appears that has 4 options: Create a Meal, Copy to Another Day, Move to Another Day and Delete.

Here is how it works Use the tool once you have items tracked for the day. I use it to create meals from items I eat together.

Step 1

Click on Quick Tools and a pop up box appears as well as smaller boxes by each of your tracked items.

Step 2

Select the items that you will be grouping together.

Step 3

Now choose your action. I created a meal. I give my meal a title and can adjust the quantity/servings if need be. I can also add more items if I choose. Select the blue Create Meal button and that’s it.

If you choose to copy or move your items to another day, the calendar pops up for you to select dates from.

Stay Tuned for MyPlate 101 Lesson 2.

Happy tracking,

-Susy
